I bet you can't name 10 couples masrry for 10yrs or more!! Try it. Buttons to push: 1. My Man, TIGER... I don't approve of what he did, but, shouldn't his wife stick with him & help him thru his issues?? Women always wanna take your money and run. YOUR comment is: 2. If divorce were not in one's vocabulary - do think more marriages would work?? YOUR comment is: 3. I think women should foot the whole bill for weddings/honeymoon... they know what they want anywayz!! Make it as big or as small as you want. YOUR comment is: 4. Why do people want to marry these days...?? Love is not even in the equation. YOUR comment is: 5. Do you think I'm PRO or CON??

For me I always believe in marriage and and I don't think this is just a kind of mess around... Married will stick on it forever if the couples consider married as the will of God and follow what God said to both male and female enter into married so that they can't live in cheated relationship...

Perhaps, there are many men believe in that what you called "grass is greener"...I don't know what you about that but I don't like people cheating their partner. People should be live with God's word to protect the sanctity of marrieds and no cheating be involved in all the cases of their lives...

I completely agree. Cheating should not even enter one's mind when married. It's not like you say to yourself; I don't love food anymore so I'm gonna stop eating. You'll eventually die... but, people really don't think that all their cheating will kill love - and harm the person! It does. Somehow, people think the grass is greener elsewhere maybe. Well, yeah; if you don't water it and nurture it... the neighbors grass will always look better.

On my side after my man cheated we separated for a while but after realizing that he is sincere he is sorry for what he did I give him a chance & did our best for marriage to work out well on us. I did not lost hope but make it clear to him that if he will do it again then we have to have an anulment.

That's awesome... That's what I mean... fight for what you SAID you wanted... I do!! You do what?? Leave first chance you get?? LOL. I hope you guys are still together. I think our society has almost lost that whole picture of marital bliss. Kids growing up today don't even see that anymore...example: If they have grandparents (at all) - are they married?? What message are we sending?? Where is american culture going??

Duglaiglas, As per your post: 0. I bet you can't name 10 couples masrry for 10yrs or more!! Try it. Buttons to push: What's the stake here? 1. My Man, TIGER... I don't approve of what he did, but, shouldn't his wife stick with him & help him thru his issues?? Women always wanna take your money and run. YOUR comment is: I wonder if you've been following the news on Tiger Woods, his wife did not run away and if I may stand corrected, word has it that his wife had picked him up from rehab to be in time for his son's birthday celebration. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1249270/Shamed-golfer-Tiger-Woods-reunited-family.html 2. If divorce were not in one's vocabulary - do think more marriages would work?? YOUR comment is: In all fairness, divorce is not the only vocab and I am sure there's just as many who believes in marriage. 3. I think women should foot the whole bill for weddings/honeymoon... they know what they want anywayz!! Make it as big or as small as you want. YOUR comment is: In some culture, the women have to fork out the dowry. 4. Why do people want to marry these days...?? Love is not even in the equation. YOUR comment is: Well, if love is not even the equation, then I suppose it will be for the material benefits. 5. Do you think I'm PRO or CON?? I don't hold the crystal ball here, so we sure would like to hear what you have to say. Now, it's over to you.....

No Stake... just potatoes!! Interesting response to all - I love it!! Thanks. To name 10 couple is a self-pat on the back. LOL!! Hopefully, the relationships around you are healthy b/c so many are not. Now, I don't want to sound like a pessimist (while I'm playing devil's advocate) - but as i mentioned in the response above yours == Where is american culture going? Our kids don't even know what marriage is supposed to look like - if there is a look. hahaha. I think I did hear briefly about Tiger's wife picking him up. That's good... it's a start........BUT IS SHE FIGHT FOR OR AGAINST?? is the heart of the question. To pick him up for the child's b-day can (play D.A.) sound misleading. Lots of people do things to keep up appearances - but, that doesn't equate to love. I bet she took that $5 million he gave initially - and I bet she kept the house she was buying in another country... (play D.A.) pobably trying to plan her escape long before this happened. I think women think men are not worth any "real" sacrifice - or we're somehow not fully invested; what do you think?? Uhmm, maybe I'll post that question. Thanks SkySuccess. Later

So here's a fact: people decide how 'true' their love is by basing on their own construction of judgment. It is like the postmodernist perspective of reality (that we construct our own reality) - there is no uni-vocal love that binds the superficial concept of 'true love' we gathered from the media - just much variation of the same concept, in which unfortunately is a belief that is susceptible to exploitation or obsessively held by the blinded soul/s. The concept of true love is a classic deception. Love is 'true' by our making; it is not given true as our prerogative. Take care.

Yep. I think we pretty successful (unconsciously??) aim at beating each other up. The concept of love is very opaque... but, my hope is - in one's heart, you feel and find 'something' about anybody that you can really like unto love. The "unto love" pertion can be like - that squirting gum we used to chew. You kinda know it's gonna happen... but in what flavor-kinda-mindset. We do construct our own reality - I believe that!! .... but, kinda like I was syaing above, here comes joe blow with the neighborhood bulldozer; we just don't know if he's gonna use it for good or for evil. That's conscious... if not pre-meditated. If you love yourself first... it has to color everything around you. Love is true by our making... voila!!

LOL! I don't know if you are pro or con because your post seems a little confusing but I will comment anyway. There are plenty of couples that have been married for more than 10 years. I've been married for more than 10 years to the same man and we are still married. Neither of us had prior marriages or prior children. So it can happen. :) Marriage is not easy by any stretch of thee imagination. It's time consuming and really work. It's not something that should be entered into lightly. It's a committment that should last a life time but often doesn't. I think the main reason marriages don't last is because people get married for the wrong reasons, want instant gratification all the time, and can't seem to put the other person before themselves. We live in a selfish society. It's all about ME! ME! ME! And in marriage that never works... each person has to be willing to give. That doesn't have to be in equal amounts all the time...but they both have to be willing to love their spouse enough to put their own wants on the back burner for the good of the relationship. It takes a strong individual to do that and well..many can't.
